Rich Hickey, the creator of Clojure, will kick things off on Friday
morning.  I can't share any details but I've gotten a sneak preview of
what he and Stuart Halloway have been working on and you will not want
to miss this one!!  More details will be available in the coming weeks
but it's big.  In between the keynotes we've got a great set of talks
about core Clojure concepts, real-world experience, and advanced
topics.

In addition to the main conference, we have three excellent training
classes prior to the conference:

1) "Intro to Clojure" with Stuart Sierra and Alan Dipert - Mar 13-15,
$1700. If you want some focused time to learn Clojure from the
experts, this is the perfect opportunity.

2) "Cascalog" with Sam Ritchie - Mar 13-15, $1700. If you want to work
with Hadoop and Big Data more efficiently, tap into the power of
Cascalog with a training class from Cascalog committer and co-author
of Manning's "Big Data".
